SREBRENICA SUSPECT MLADEN CVIJANOVIC ARRESTED IN THE UNITED STATES

It is unclear whether authorities of Bosnia-Herzegovina will seek extradition of Mladen Cvijanovic. Countries like the United States, Australia and Canada have become safe havens for suspected Serbian war criminals. The US Genocide Accountability Act has been a huge failure, because authorities have repeatedly refused to charge and prosecute Serb suspects for the genocide in Bosnia.

According Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel,

"A 46-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged in federal court with lying on immigration forms about his police service in Bosnia during the mid-1990s, when his unit was deployed to an area where an estimated 8,000 Bosnian Muslims were executed, according to a criminal complaint released Wednesday.

The killings have been called the worst case of genocide in Europe since World War II.

Mladjen Cvijanovic told federal investigators he lied about his police service and residency in Bosnia on the immigration forms so he could bring his daughters to the United States, the complaint says.

Cvijanovic is charged with one count of immigration fraud and was being held Wednesday in the Waukesha County Jail. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and likely deportation."

Srebrenica Genocide is not a matter of anybody's opinion; it's a judicial fact recognized first by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and subsequently by the International Court of Justice.
